If you have been dealing with shoulder pain, you may be in search of some answers that can help you put this painful condition aside once and for all. We have provided the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions we receive at Tatsuno Chiropractic, Inc. in Bakersfield, CA.
What Are Some Things That Can Lead to Shoulder Pain?
Shoulder pain can be either acute pain or chronic pain resulting from injuries or other things. Shoulder pain typically involves the muscles, cartilage, and nerves within the joint. Some conditions that can result in shoulder pain are a rotator cuff injury, shoulder dislocation, frozen shoulder, arthritis, and bursitis.
What Are Some Repetitive Situations That Can Cause Shoulder Injuries?
Constantly reaching upward during a hobby or while at work, swinging a racket or club, or holding the shoulder in a stressful position for an extended period of time can all cause repetitive strain injuries.
What Is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder is a condition that is painful and can happen after holding your shoulder still for long periods of time, such as when it’s in a sling.
What Are Some Other Symptoms Caused by Shoulder Injuries Besides Pain?
Shoulder injuries can result in a restriction of movement due to soreness, stiffness, and pain. You may not be able to lift your arm or lift objects that are lightweight. You may have difficulties dressing, sleeping, or typing due to discomfort and pain. You may even experience numbness in your shoulder or tingling in your hands and arms.
How Can Chiropractic Care Benefit Me if I Have Shoulder Pain?
Chiropractic care is beneficial because it provides non-invasive and drug-free techniques that are great for treating shoulder pain and other conditions. Your chiropractor may perform manual adjustments to relieve your shoulder pain. Chiropractic adjustment has been found highly effective in relaxing tense muscles and realigning joints that are out of balance to restore range of motion and reduce pain.
Therapeutic massage, as well as lifestyle counseling, may also help treat shoulder pain. Massage therapy works by increasing the flow of blood to your injured shoulder, thus promoting healing. Lifestyle counseling may help improve your health overall and reduce your risk of future injuries. Corrective exercises are also beneficial in helping strengthen your shoulder muscles, so you can be less susceptible to further injuries.
